Kinnocks: We’re Alright… For Cash

Back when he was a young gun revolutionary Neil Kinnock left us in no doubt as to how he felt about the House of Lords, describing peers as an assortment of “brigands, muggers, bribers and gangsters“. He seems to have mellowed with age…

New figures show that Lord and Baroness Kinnock claimed over £66,000 in Lords expenses in the last year alone. Despite speaking on average just once a month, Kinnock has regularly been claiming his £300-a-day expenses allowance, topping up the £10 million in salary and pension benefits the couple enjoyed on the EU gravy train. Alright, alright, alright for some…

          We are intensely relaxed about (our) people getting filthy rich

          Most frontbench Labour politicians (except rich OxBridge trustafarians like Miliband, Balls and Umunna) enter parliament as poor as church mice and leave as rich as Kinnock, B£iar, Falconer and Mandelson.

          Why do people continue to vote for these scum, when they clearly have never improved the lot of the working class?

        Interesting in that he was the man least likely to be a good PM though the left did and do not agree.
        He was going to reform the EU as a Commissioner and became an upstanding member of their venal brigade, and did nothing except lord it over his staff and improve the family fortune.
        Got pushed into heading the British Council which he made a family affair troughing at the national trough.
        Then the Lords, which he said he would never do, but found the troughing habit too hard to kick – Prescott is another one of these hypocritical left wing crooks of no fixed abode.

      brown dog says:

      Maybe he was never a socialist…and really just a sort of “Manchurian Candidate” i.e. a sop to the masses should Labour have won the GE with him at the helm. When in reality he was just another pro freemarket, liberal democratic (libertarian?) party leader all along. In the end he wasn’t needed and was so rewarded for services nearly rendered.

    He’s a socialist though, so it’s ok.

      What type of socialist though.?..an international socialist (those who hate their own country) or a national socialist (those who don’t hate their own country).

          The Lecturer says:

          Gramsican, which basically means its ok to take the cash, do fuck all and then say that the prevailing hegemony of the ruling idealogy (in a socialogical sense you understand) has been too powerful for a countervaling ideology of the working class to develop. This means its ok to take the cash of state institutions that you entered politics to change and to shit on the very people who put you in power. He’s cu_nt, his family are all cu_nts and if I see the twat again I’ll tell him he’s a c_unt to his face.

    Kinnock is your typical Labour hypocrtite, hating the HoL, pleading for fairness for the masses but forgetting all that as soon as there is the opportunity to get his head into the trough! What splendid role models Kinnock, Blair, Mandelson & Lardy Prescott are!

          • The Lecturer says:

            That was fucking clear from day one, but then to be fair the Labour Party is not a socialist party, none of the parties have any political ideology other than get power, get cash, make me look really important, hang on as long as possible and make sure you get police protection for life when your retire the the EU Dacha. Only a new English Civil War will rid us of the current elite.

    That’s their profit from it. All tax free because Peers have that tax avoiding deal on their pay.

    However, what’s the cost to us?

    Well a Peer costs us 2,700 pounds a day.

    So the cost of the Kinnocks for a year (220 days), is 600,000 as near as damn it.

    Lord Kinnock’s rise to prominence is such an inspiring story that I gave it the Fareed Zakaria treatment when I ran for President in 1988. Hey, I’m just Joe being Joe, right? It was a better story anyway, such a shame I got busted on it; took me twenty years to live that one down.

    “Despite speaking on average just once a month,”

    I’ve heard it all now.

    • 57

      Ah! I see. Ergo you are making a case that he is not claiming enough. Good point!

      Why did they not let you go off and become an EU commissioner and give him the job of keeping the windowlickers here amused? Life is even more unfair in a socialist world than a capitalist one, Jimmy.

    In the meantime the braindead voters of Blaenau Gwent are still wallowing in high unemployment, welfare dependency, poor health and general depravation the same as they were when the not so wealthy Kinnocks represented them in Westminister and Europe.

    The sad part is that the dumb buggers will still be voting for Labour Party hypocrites like the Kinnocks even when hell has frozen over.
